The #nothingnew hashtag is a simple #KISS project of rejecting the common sense neoliberalism and postmodernism of the last 40 years to reboot social change/challenge from the original modernist path to then build #somethingnew The #geekproblem hashtag is a complex view of the other hashtags. In this, we need to take the “problem” out of…
Nurturing community’s – tech is not going to do this
On the #fediverse, we need to work/think about the need to cross-link the subject instance. As, the idea of as instance as a community is lightly built into the code of mastodon. So individuals and groups need to push this into existence, then add issues to the #ygithub mastodon tracker to try and get this…
technologies job is to hold the trust in place
Think that might be a good #openweb slogan, “technologies job is to hold the trust in place” #OGB Decisions only count if a wide number of people engaged in them, because in the end it’s this group that will “enforce” the consensus. So one power mad nutter (quick, take the crown off) has little power…
Some one asked indieweb vs Fediverse
The indieweb is strongly individualism, where the Fediverse is more community based, though says it’s individualism to get #mainstreaming outreach (white lie). indieweb is a good fit for capitalism Fediverse is (as of now) a bad fit for capitalism So it depends on your (mostly unspoken) view on politics. In this they use overlapping tech…
Thinking about the social tech mess
#fashernista and the media are always a problem that is hard to do anything about. They shift the focus from the grassroots to themselves and tell #mainstreaming stories because this is what the media wants to hear. The undercurrents that is the story drafts back into the flow and nothing is understood, no change or…
A conversation on trust and tech with #OMN projects
Remember the #fedivers is built like this, no geek in their right minds would do this, yet we use it every day All our existing code is based on #feudalism master (admin) surf (user) this is why it is defenceless vs capitalism (#dotcons) There have been attempts to build democratic code, early #wikis, think #indymedia…
Talking to people about #twittermigration
Thinking of stepping away from the #dotcons to the #openweb a conversation with an activist signing up on a big general instance – they kinda all do this. A. You might be better off on an activism focused instance, https://activism.openworlds.info, but you will be fine on the one anyone, as they all talk to each…
An activist history of the web
The “better” #closedweb (ISP intranets) was “surprisingly” destroyed by the “inferer” #openweb, which then exploded in use to spread everywhere. The #mainstreaming thinking then tried and failed to recapture this #4opens project for ten years as it takes up global space, and was a real challenge change, that the “common sense” said should not exist.…
Doing the same thing in the same context and expecting different results is one of the clinical definitions of insanity
Q. Doing the same thing in the same context and expecting different results is one of the clinical definitions of insanity. 😀 A. That is EXACTLY the #mainstreaming problem the #hashtages are about, well said. If it’s not different, it’s not working #nothingnew WE have solved this problem in the past but have not had…
Talking about storys and #stupidindividualism
Q. One difficulty that I personally have with your communication methods is your use of hashtags that convey meaning to the people that already know and use them, but are opaque to someone who doesn’t know what they mean. You end up being only able to communicate with people within your own filter bubble. What…
